Jamie Vardy and his wife Rebekah were forced to make a frantic hospital dash with their son

A source said: “It was very frightening for them both – as it would be for any parent.

“They went through the necessary checks and discovered Finley has shingles, which can be serious in young babies.

“The couple were reassured by doctors that he will make a full recovery – a huge relief for all the family.”

And Rebekah was quick to pay tribute to NHS staff for their professionalism, writing on Twitter yesterday: "Thank you so much to the staff at Leicester Hospital for taking such good care of us yesterday!
"A credit to the NHS."
